Abu al-Muhajir Dinar ((アラビア語:أبو المهاجر دينار)) (died 683), amir of Ifriqiya under the Umayyads. His biography is complicated by the existence of two versions of the history of the Umayyad conquest of North Africa, those written before the 11th century and those written later.〔See Benabbès (2005), Modéran (2005).〕 He was originally a slave of Maslama ibn Mukhallad, a member of the Ansar, who gave him his freedom. Maslama, one of Muhammad's companions, was appointed by the first Umayyad caliph Muawiyah I to the position of governor of Egypt and Ifriqiya. The inclusion of Ifriqiya was nominal, as until then the Arabs had made only temporary raids in that direction without attempting permanent control. In 675,〔Ibn Abd al-Hakam, p. 197 of Torrey's Arabic text, but on p. 320 of the English translation the date given is 10 years earlier. This is because the translation is based on a single manuscript. The earlier date is not supported by better manuscripts.〕 Maslama appointed Abu al-Muhajir to the position of amir or general of the Umayyad forces in Ifriqiya. This position was already occupied by Uqba ibn Nafi, a member of the Banu Quraish. Maslama advised Abu al-Muhajir to relieve Uqba of his position with due deference, but it seems that this did not happen. Uqba was shackled and thrown into prison, from which he was only released when the Caliph requested to see him. As Uqba left Ifriqiya for Damascus, he vowed to treat Abu al-Muhajir as he had been treated.〔Ibn Abd al-Hakam, p. 197 of Torrey's Arabic text, p. 321 of English translation.〕 Uqba had established a camp at Qayrawan. It is said that Abu al-Muhajir abandoned this (in some accounts, destroyed it) and built another settlement two miles away.〔Location not known with certainty. Ibn Abd al-Hakam, p. 197 Arabic text or p. 321 of translation, states it was 2 miles from Qayrawan. Ibn Idhari added that this was in the direction of Tunis. Solignac p. 22 suggests a tell-like hill northeast of Qayrawan called Draa Temmar.〕 According to histories written many centuries later this city was called Tākarwān ((アラビア語:تاكروان)).〔Ad-Dabbagh/Ibn Naji, p. 47 of Cairo edition. In footnotes, the editor gives two later variations: Tīkīrwān ((アラビア語:تيكيروان)) from Al-Nuwayri (14th century) and Tīkarwān ((アラビア語:تيكروان)) from Ibn Abi Dinar in the 16th century.〕 Until then it had been the custom for the amirs of Ifriqiya to return to Egypt between raids, and Abu al-Muhajir is said to be the first amir to stay in Ifriqiya permanently. What Abu al-Muhajir accomplished in the nine or so years of his command are not agreed by the two different versions of the histories. Histories written in the 9th century credit him with advancing no further west than Mila, Algeria,〔Or alternatively, the Saharan fort of Gemellae. Khalifa ibn Khayyat, ''Tarikh'', fide Benabbès (2005), Modéran (2005).〕 while those written from the eleventh century on have him capturing Tlemcen. Muawiyah's successor as Caliph, Yazid I, was responsible for restoring Uqba to his previous position.〔Ibn Abd al-Hakam, p. 198 of Torrey's Arabic text, p. 322 of English translation.〕 Uqba arrived in Ifriqiya in 682, and immediately fulfilled his vow. Abu al-Muhajir was shackled and forced to accompany Uqba whenever he went on expeditions. In 683,〔Ibn Abd al-Hakam, p. 199 of Torrey's Arabic text, p. 324 of English translation.〕 Uqba's forces were ambushed by the Berber chief Kasila near Tahuda - the ancient Roman fort of ''Thabudeos'' - in Algeria. Uqba is said to have offered to unchain Abu al-Muhajir so that he might have a better chance to fight, but Abu al-Muhajir said that he would rather die fighting wearing his chains.〔Ibn Abd al-Hakam, p. 199 of Torrey's Arabic text, p. 323 of English translation.〕 Both men were killed in this battle with 300 members of Okba's cavalry . He is buried in Sidi Okba in Algeria in the al-Shurafa cemetery with 300 dead of the battle of Tehuda in front of the mosque of Sidi Okba or what is the tomb Uqba ibn Nafi General ==See also== * Umayyad Caliphate 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abu al-Muhajir Dinar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
